Oh, that's great. Now, will Time Machine and Versions coexist together? Doesn't Versions 'do more' than Time Machine? (new to Mac)

My guess is that Versions won't keep files that have been deleted. It also doesn't do full system backups.

They'll co-exist

Versions is a bit like shadow copy or whatever from WIndows BUT it does a bit more. On supported applications it will save the file without the user saving

In case you guys were wondering, this is how you get an app out of full screen (shows up in the menu bar, which shows up when your cursor is at the top of the screen): post-17580-0-53705300-1298573757.png

Edit: Also, just noticed this in the All My Files section in Finder (note the Cover Flow): post-17580-0-97325700-1298573857.png

What does that button next to the view modes do?

That's the sorter (so you can get that view that you see in All My Files in whatever folder you want). Kind of cool that you can even sort by which application will open it.

Just installed a fresh version of Snow Leopard on a new partition; updating it to 10.6.6, then getting the Lion dev preview from the app store. Amazing how much time and data this takes, Rogers is gonna kill me...

:laugh: I thought it was pretty cool that it comes through the App Store though.

Yeah, although I'm not sure I will like it if that's how they publish the update - will fresh installs of Lion be possible?

Updates should come down through Software Update. I would imagine DVDs for fresh installs will be available for the final product, but Apple is definitely trying to leave optical media behind.

*sigh*

Yeah, I wanted to install a copy here. If it comes through the App Store I believe it will be impossible to get, and if I have to waste like 2 hours to install Snow Leopard + updates before, it’s a let down for the moment.

It will probably be more like Leopard $129 than Snow Leopard.

This. Lion is a true update with major new features, not just a bunch of optimizations with some perfections or the so-called "refinements".

People already cracked FaceTime in a matter of hours, I'm guessing the same will happen eventually with Mac OS X Lion.

i hope its still $29 to uograde

Doubtful. However I don't think they're going back to €129 either.

Looking very nice. I can't say I'm a fan of the inverted toolbar buttons (depressed if not selected), but everything else looks good.

I think they're going to for that slider look you see in Time Machine preferences as well (among other places).

I imagine the button in the Finder toolbar slides around when selecting a different view mode.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
